Cricket world and Twitterati all praise for Mohammad Abbas

From a welder to being praised by the cricketing world – Mohammad Abbas’s journey shows that hard work and determination pays off.

The pacer ripped through the Australian batting picking up ten wickets in Pakistan’s win in the second Test. Abbas was also clinical in the first math picking up seven wickets. For his efforts, he was named man of the match in the second Test along with man of the series.

South African paceman Dale Steyn was all praise for Pakistani bowler Mohammad Abbas after seeing his performance against Australia.

“I see a new number 1 Test bowler coming…Mohammad Abbas,” Steyn tweeted.

Former English skipper Michael Vaughn said Abbas “would get him out every time within 6 balls.”

Having watched Mahammad Abbas now for over a year … I have decided he would get me out every time within about 6 balls … The type of bowler i would poop my pants about … Thought I would let you all know … #PAKvAUS

Paul Collingwood agreed with the former English skipper, adding that when he faced Abbas “He had me on toast.”

Faced him last month with storm Ali up his backside….lasted 1 ball first innings and somehow survived the huge LBW shout 1st ball in the 2nd innings!! Had me on toast #unplayablehttps://t.co/R2ZgipHxrb
